This is What Happened during Assembly!

Today during assembly the fire alarm rang.  Room 16 knew what to do.  They quietly and quickly went outside and lined up waiting for the roll to be called.  Then we got the message that we could go back into assembly.  On our way back inside we saw the fire engine and the firemen.  It was all very exciting and proved to be good motivation for our writing.

Planning and Making Kites and Paper Planes.

At Maker Space Room 16 constructed a kite.  We found out about the design features of a good kite and how you need to test, modify and maybe even rethink your design.  So when we made paper planes as well as our own kites we realised how real inventors try and try again to get things right.  We had fun constructing and flying our own kites and paper planes.

The Greedy Possum.

This is Marzuli's story about the greedy possum from the story "The Apple Tree".  Marzuli is practising his typing skills and how to take a photo on his iPad.

A Koala Bear gift

Mrs Ireland who helps us in Room 16 on a Tuesday recently went to Australia.  On her return she gave all the children a little koala bear.  The children wrote cards to thank Mrs Ireland and Talanoa did a great job decorating and writing in his card.
